Roadcation Part 1

3 states in 3 days......

Missouri
Independence
Temple Lot, when you stand on this lot you are higher than anything else around you.

This is the RLDS (community of Christ) Temple. We got to take a tour but it seemed more like an art museum than a temple inside.
Liberty

Liberty Jail, the only thing original about this jail is the floor and some of the stones on the side.

FarWest
When we arrived, there was a car in the parking lot and on the back of that car it said in big bold letters, the book of Mormon is total fiction.
When we walked onto the temple grounds I started looking around trying to match that car to the owner. It wasn't that hard. This very patient missionary was being antagonized by this man. And of course, if you know Ben he could not just mind his own business. Ben stood by one of the stones pretending to look at it while listening to what this guy was saying. When we got back to the car the first thing Ben says is "I want to give him a Book of Mormon". I immediately told him "no, he is going to punch you in the face". I could totally picture it in my head. Ben hands him a book and boom, a fight on temple grounds. They would probably have to rededicate it.
I gave in and let Ben bring the guy a BofM. My anxiety was through the roof as I sat in the car watching Ben. And thank goodness Ben did not get punched. Ben spent a good half hour talking to this guy and all this guy wanted to do is blah, blah, blah people's ear's off.
Adam-ondi-Ahman
Ben on Temple Hill. Remains of the Nephite's tower was found here.

Hauns Mill

This place is located in the middle of corn fields and tress. The only thing left is the creek.
When we pulled up to the site these big bugs started attacking our car. They looked like BIG bees. These bug flew full force into our car. We had to sit in the car for at least 5 mins before we could even get out.

We did all of this in one day, just me and my hubby. It was very amazing and spiritual to think of all the things that have happened at these sites.
